Helicopter in Beijing
Yesterday morning I saw a helicopter flying eastward directly above the South Third Ring Road. I thought about it for a while and couldn’t remember ever having seen a helicopter in Beijing, or anywhere else in China for that matter. Does anyone know what this story is behind this one? Monitoring traffic seems the obvious explanation, but they could just as easily put cameras atop the taller buildings along the entire Third Ring Road, if they haven’t done so already.

Sorry to disappoint you there Nator but I have seen the black helicopters before…plenty of times. It is even one of those words in Chinese I remember… zhi-sheng-fei-ji I think it was.
Saw some around the Great Wall too. Probably taking some VIP on a tour or something.
The ones I saw resembled the soviet Mi-8’s.
Here is a list of Chinese Helicopters.
